WMEMCMP

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The wmemcmp() function shall compare the first n wide
characters of the object pointed to by ws1 to the
first n wide characters of the object pointed to by ws2.
This function shall not be affected by locale and all
wchar_t values shall be treated identically. The null wide character
and wchar_t values not corresponding to valid
characters shall not be treated specially.

If n is zero, the application shall ensure that ws1 and
ws2 are valid pointers, and the function shall
behave as if the two objects compare equal.

RETURN VALUE

The wmemcmp() function shall return an integer greater than,
equal to, or less than zero, respectively, as the object
pointed to by ws1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the
object pointed to by ws2.
